How would you determine the standard electrode potential of `Mg^(2+)|Mg`? |
|
Answer» We will set up a cell consisting of `Mg|MgSO_(4)(1M)` as one electrode (by dipping a magnesium wire in 1M `MgSO_(4)` solution) and standard hydrogen electrode Pt, `H_(1)` (1 atm) `H^(+)|(1M)` as the second electrode and measure the EMF of the cell and also note the direction of deflection in the voltmeter. the direction of deflection shows that electronsf low from magnesium electrode to hydrogen electrode, i.e., oxidation takes place on magnesium electrode and reduction on hydrogen electrode. Hence, the cell may be represented as: `Mg|Mg^(2+)(1M)||H^(+)(1M)|H_(2),(1atm),Pt` `E_(cell)^(@)=E_(H^(+),1//2H_(2))^(@)-E_(Mg^(2+),Mg)^(@)` put `E_(H^(+),1//2H_(2))^(@)=0` Hence, `E_(Mg^(2+),Mg)^(@)=-E_(cell)^(@)`. |

With reference to the position of various metals in the electrochemical series, identify and justify the method of extraction followed for the metals given below : (i) Zinc (ii) Copper (iii) Magnesium |
|
Answer» (i) Zinc is a metal present in the middle of the electrohemical series. Zinc has negative SRP value that is why it can be reduced by normal reducing agents such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon. This is because these reducing agents possess the ability to break ionic bonds between metal ion and oxide ion. (ii) Copper is a metal present above hydrogen in the electrochemical series. It has positive value for SRP that indicates the lesser thermal stability of its oxide. Thus, it can be extracted by reduction with other metals that have lower SRP than Cu. (iii) Magnesium is a metal present at the bottom in the electrochemical series. It has very high value of negative SRP value. That means, it itself is a strong reducing agent and hence, cannot be reduced by any other reducing agents. It is therefore extracted by the electrolytic reduction of its molten salt |

Define molar conductivity. What is the significance of it? |
|
Answer» Molar conductivity : It is defined as a conductance of a volume of the solution containing ions from one mole of an electrolyte when placed between two parallel plate electrodes 1 cm apart and of large area, sufficient to accommodate the whole solution between them, at constant temperature. It is denoted by ∧m. Thus, The significance of molar conductivity is the conductance due to ions from one mole of an electrolyte. |
|
| 1021. |
Obtain a relation between conductivity (κ) and molar conductivity (∧m). |
|
Answer» Conductivity or specific conductance (κ) is the conductance of 1 cm3 of the solution in C.G.S. units, while molar conductivity is the conductance of a solution containing one mole of an electrolyte. Consider C molar solution, i.e., C moles of an electrolyte present in 1 litre or 1000 cm3 of the solution. ∴ C moles of an electrolyte are present in 1000 cm3 solution. ∴ 1 mole of an electrolyte is present in \(\frac{1000}{C}\) cm solution. Now, ∴ Conductance of 1 cm3 of this solution is κ, ∴ Conductance of \(\frac{1000}{C}\) cm3 of the solution is \(\frac{k\times 1000}{C}\) This represents molar conductivity, ∧m. ∴ ∧m = \(\frac{k\times 1000}{C}\)cm2mol-1(in C.G.S units) [ In case of SI units : Consider a solution in which C moles of an electrolyte are present in 1m3 of solution. Conductivity κ is the conductance of 1m3 of solution. ∵ C moles of an electrolyte are present in 1m3 solution. ∴ 1 mol of an electrolyte is present in \(\frac{1}{C}\) solution. ∵ Conductance of 1m3 of this solution is κ. ∴ Conductance of \(\frac{1}{C}\)m3 of the solution is \(\frac{k}{C}\). This represents molar conductivity, ∧m. ∴ ∧m = \(\frac{k}{C}\)Ω-1 m2 mol-1 (In SI units).] |

|
Answer» The electrolysis of `Ni(NO_(3))_(2)` in presence of `Ni` electrode will bring in following changes : At anode : `Ni rarr Ni^(2+)+2e` At cathode : `Ni^(2+)+2e rarr Ni` Eq. of `Ni^(2+)` formed = Eq. of `Ni^(2+)` lost Thus, there will be no change in conc. of `Ni(NO_(3))_(2)` sol. during electrolysis i.e., It will remain `2M`. |

The `EMF` of a galvanic cell is measured byA. ammeterB. galvanometerC. voltmeterD. potentiometer |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D The capacity to do electical work by a cell is called lthe cell potential. It is expressed in volt `(V)`. We could use a voltmeter to measure the cell potenital but this would not give us the correct value of cell potential. The reason is that the cell potenital is dependent upon the concentreation of the elctrolyte which would change if we allow the current to flow in the circuit through the voltmeter. Hence, we must measuure the potential difference betweent he two half-cells when the cell is hald at almost constant composition and no current is flowing The potential differnce of a cell when no current is drawn out and when the cell is operating reversibly (i.e., very-2 slowly) is called the `emf` (electromotive force) of the cell. The measurement of the `emf` can by done by using a pote-tiometer. The potentioeter consits of a wire of uniform cross-section and high resistance so that negligible current is drawn out during the measurement. We make use of Weston cadmium cell (a commonly used standard cell) for the standardization) of a potentiometer. |

How would you determine the standard reduction potential of the system `Mg^(2+)|Mg`? |
|
Answer» A cell will be set up consisting of `Mg//MgSO_(4)(1M)` as one electrode and standard hydrogen electrode Pt, H, (1atm) `H^(+)//(1M)` as second electrode, measure the EMF of the cell and also note the direction of deflection in the voltmeter.

If `E^(c-)._((Ag|Ag^(o+)))=-0.8V` and `E^(c-)._((H_(2)|2H^(o+)))=0 V` , in a cell arrangement using these two electrodes, find `E^(c-)._(cell)` and find out which electrode acts as anode and which acts as cathode. |
|
Answer» Note that `E^(c-)._((Ag|Ag^(o+)))` and `E^(c-)._(H_(2)|2H^(o+))` are stanard oxidation potential values. Comparing the two values, `E^(c-)._((H_(2)|2H^(o+)))gtE^(c-)._((Ag|Ag^(o+)))` or Comparing the reduction potential values, `E^(c-)._((Ag^(o+)|Ag))gtE^(c-)._((2H^(o+)|H_(2)))` Hence, silver electrode will act as catohde and hydrogen electrode will act as anode. The cell representation of the cell is `:` `Pt,H_(2)(1 atm)|H^(o+)(1.0M)||Ag^(o+)(1.0M)|Ag(s)` `E^(c-)._(cell)=(E^(c)._(reduction))_(cathode)-(E^(c-)._(reduction))_(anode)` `=0.8-0=0.8V` |
